NihontoWatch現代刀工で公益財団法人後に特別保存に日本美術刀剣保存協会が認めるのは、重要刀剣に認める以上の価値があり、まさに特別重要刀剣に匹敵する状態だそうです。 日本の皇族、陸軍軍人。久邇宮朝彦親王の第8王子である朝香宮初代当主朝香宮鳩彦王殿下への特別注文打ちの超入念作で、御親淬之と記載のことから親王殿下が御自ら刀工貞次と供に水無瀬神宮でこの刀を合作し、それを中央刀剣会が親王殿下に奉献したという意味の記載が有ります。 地金の美しさを追求したような潤うような上品なる梨地肌に小板目が良く詰み刃文は互ノ目、金筋、足よく入っています。小沸は細かにつき、明るく冴え、華やかな出来で非常に希少なこの上無き最高傑作です。 高橋貞次は大正６年帝室技芸員月山貞一の門下に入る。昭和１１年第１回新作日本刀展で総理大臣賞受賞。戦後昭和30年第１回新作刀展で特選第１位。昭和32年人間国宝に指定される現代刀では一番上手と言われております。

Shōwa to the present: destruction and revival
The twentieth century nearly killed the craft twice: wartime distortion, then the occupation ban. The NBTHK’s founding in 1948 and licensed forging from 1953 rebuilt the sword as an art, crowned by Living National Treasures and the mukansa rank.
A Hozon-certified blade judged to show notably superior workmanship and a better state of preservation. The bar is higher: re-tempered blades and most unsigned Muromachi/Edo works are excluded.
The NBTHK (Nihon Bijutsu Tōken Hozon Kyōkai, the Society for the Preservation of Japanese Art Swords) is a public-interest incorporated foundation founded in 1948 and supervised by Japan’s Agency for Cultural Affairs (Bunkachō); it is based at the Japanese Sword Museum in Tokyo. Its expert panels physically examine each submitted work (shinsa) and issue a certificate (kanteishō) ranking it by artistic and historical merit. NBTHK papers are the most widely recognized standard of authentication for Japanese swords and fittings.
